After the picture perfect character development last week we now get the second part of that with great dialogue and something to learn.
The story of this episode may be easy to follow and the plottwists are expectable but the core message behind it is the great thing. It's again a story of oppression this time not by the empire but by a brutal cold gangster using children to make profit and giving them barely enough food to survive. The story of oppression under an authoritarian leader was always one of the big stories of the star Wars franchise.
I also want to mention the incredible use of the Bad Batch Theme. They only use it a few times in the wohle show but always at moments where it perfectly fits. Like this episodes scene showing Hunter rescuing Omega while the theme plays. This is how to create great moments with music!
I think this was a typical bad batch episode with the batch playing the main role. Unlike many others I like those episodes and do not need a climatic showdown every week.
